This has got to stop!!

Hi, My name is Mimi and I'm addicted to saving plants. It's a good thing that I only have a few containers left and ran out of top soil for now. I was out in the garden a couple of days ago and saw this bell pepper plant. I don't even know why I insist on saving these plants when I don't even like green bell peppers. However, I saw little buds growing on this plant, and I just couldn't let the frost claim it.  So I had to dig it up and try to overwinter it.  It's weird, I planted all the pepper plants way back in early April and some of them never grew!  Half of the plants were frozen in time, they just did not get any bigger.  What gives?

I dug up the plant and put it into a container with the last of the top soil, and some composted manure and sphagnum peat moss.

I brought the plant inside and added it to my collection of plants on the enclosed front porch.  This is past the point of ridiculous.  LOL.  Oh and check out my clear plastic drip tray that I have under the plant.  Hahahaha  I looked for plastic drip trays in Lowes and they wanted to charge $1.50 for a drip tray!  $1.50!!!  That costs more than some terracotta pots!  Forget that.  My husband said I need to get creative and should find another way to catch the water run-off.

Then I spied the plastic cover on this chocolate cake my parents brought over on Monday.  I was like, oooh, I can re-use that plastic cover as a plastic drip tray!!  Score!  I love recycling and not spending a dime on something I need!
